Hello,
Can anybody assist on this IPv4 question:
Why does fib_alias contain an fa_type member and also fib_info contain
a fib_type member? A fib_alias must refer to some fib_info object via
the fa_info pointer. Are there cases when fa_type can differ from
fib_type? or is it so only for some legacy reason?

It's just a simplification that hasn't been done yet. They should
both be exactly the same and be derived from cfg->fc_type.
